Acts 13:27-37

27For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

28And though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, they asked Pilate to have him executed.

29And when they had carried out all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.

30But God raised him from the dead,

31and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.

32And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers,

33this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm, "'You are my Son, today I have begotten you.'

34And as for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken in this way, "'I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.'

35Therefore he says also in another psalm, "'You will not let your Holy One see corruption.'

36For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his fathers and saw corruption,

37but he whom God raised up did not see corruption.
